Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic cell culture system that cultures cells and a liquid sending device.
  • Fig. 4 is a diagram of a ventilation method for the culture vessel that conducts two-layer culture in the configurations in Figs. 2 and 3 .
  • a mixed gas cylinder 17 containing CO 2 and O 2 is connected to a sparger bottle 19.
  • the CO 2 gas sent from the cylinder 17 is passed into pure water 18 in the sparger bottle 19, and the gas is humidified at the optimum humidity, and ready for use.
  • a liquid culture medium that has not reached the vessel remains in the liquid sending tube through which a liquid culture medium has been sent.
  • the gaseous phase then moves to send the remaining liquid culture medium, and the liquid culture medium reaches the trap bottle 24.
  • the liquid having passed through the inside of the liquid sending tube and reached the trap bottle 24 is condensed at the vessel side opening 26, and then dropped onto the inner bottom part of the bottle.
  • the gaseous phase passes through the atmosphere side opening 27 communicating inside the bottle, reaches the air communication filter 29, and then is released to the atmosphere.
  • the pumps mean roller pumps.
  • the filters described above are a filter that takes in a gas externally from the flow channel or discharges a gas for adjusting the atmospheric pressure in the inside of the flow channel.
  • filters having quality of blocking particles in particle size of 0.22 ⁇ m or greater, bacterial cells, and viruses are used.
  • the filters mean similar ones.
  • the first culture vessel 55 is a hermetical vessel including a main body 59 and a lid 60.
  • the first culture vessel 55 can hold a second vessel 61 and a first vessel 62 on the inner bottom part of the main body 59.
  • the second vessel 61 can hold and culture cells.
  • the first vessel 62 can hold and culture cells.
  • the culture surface of the first vessel 62 is formed of a substance permeable membrane.
  • the first culture vessel 55 is a culture vessel that conducts a so-called co-culture, which is a culture method in which the membrane transmits only growth factors produced from vegetative cells cultured in the second vessel 61 for promoting the growth of cells cultured in the first vessel.
  • the main body 59, the lid 60, and the first port 63 to the fourth port 66 were prepared by injection molding with polycarbonate for their materials.
  • a cell culture insert (six wells), model No. 353090, made by Becton, Dickinson and Company, was used.
  • the substance permeable membrane 9 was polymerized with N-isopropylacrylamide, which is a temperature responsive polymer monomer, by electron beams. Thus, a temperature responsive culture surface was prepared.
  • a 35-mm cell culture surface processed dish, model No. 430165, made by Corning Incorporated was used.
  • an incubator For the thermostat, an incubator (Toyo Engineering Works, Ltd., model No. TVHA60WA12A) was used. The chamber temperature of the thermostat was operated at a temperature of 37°C.
  • an electronic low temperature chamber For the refrigerator unit, an electronic low temperature chamber (Toyo Engineering Works, Ltd., model No. THS030PA) was used. The chamber temperature of the refrigerator unit was operated at a temperature of 4°C.
  • Holding the trap bottle at a temperature lower than a room temperature improves the efficiency of condensing a liquid from the gaseous phase containing the liquid.
  • the liquid phase is prevented from reaching the air communication filter, and the filter is prevented from being clogged. Consequently, the internal pressure of the culture vessel can be maintained at a normal pressure.
